| x2s | you can still send it back and get another one | 08:45 |
| x2s | mobile operating systems are a sad mess. | 08:45 |
| Matias | It's a shame really | 08:46 |
| smyru | Their aren't a mess. These decissions were well thought by stake holders, trust me. | 08:46 |
| Matias | Mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful little pocket computers. But they are being held back by these stupid toy operating systems | 08:46 |
| smyru | We can have too much freedom. | 08:47 |
| smyru | I meant Can't | 08:47 |
| henk | x2s: well, maybe. I’m in switzerland and the EU laws about these things don’t apply here. so I’d have to hope for the goodwill of the vendor I bought it from … | 08:47 |
| x2s | henk: are there really no rules about being able to test devices and sending them back? | 08:50 |
| henk | x2s: https://www.ch.ch/en/safety-and-justice/returning-or-exchanging-goods/ »In Switzerland you have no legal right to exchange or return goods you have bought. However, some stores and online shops voluntarily offer you the opportunity to return or exchange a product.« | 08:53 |
| x2s | yeah, I'd only buy at those shops... | 08:55 |
| x2s | also explains why so many order stuff to a German address :D | 08:56 |
| x2s | Matias: it starts at uboot and device trees and so many missing drivers. And some aren't even missing, just never sent upstream, because then the developers would have to clean up the code or Linus might get nasty. | 09:01 |
| Ingvix | does the android layer have some preinstalled hosts file that's blocking ads or something? | 13:56 |
| Ingvix | to my knowledge I have not installed any ad blocking utility and my /etc/hosts is fairly empty but it seems that many ads are being blocked on android apps | 13:58 |
| Ingvix | found /system/etc/hosts, which is supposedly android-specific but that's also rather empty | 14:03 |
| Ingvix | it might be microg doing something, maybe | 14:20 |
| Ingvix | apparently it was microg. Unsure if it's a feature or just not implemented | 14:40 |
